Just like trees and plants bear
fruit, so must the Christian bear
spiritual fruit. Some plants and trees
are meant to have only branches or
stems, and leaves, and no fruit. But
there are others that produce fruit:
apple trees, tomato plants, blueberry
bushes, etc. Through the work of the
Holy Spirit in a believer's heart,
Christians begin to produce the fruit
of the Spirit. This means that a
Christian shows by his lifestyle that
he walks in the ways of the Lord. As
you can tell an apple tree becase of
the tasty apples it carries on its
branches, Christians should be
recognized by their godly character.
Children, read these stories and see
the importance of bearing the fruit of
godliness.
